Two-Tone Stoneware Salad Bowl, France, 1960's

A lovely small French stoneware salad bowl with a wide, gently flared form finished in an unglazed sandy exterior and a bold band of warm terracotta-brown glaze at the shoulder, the glazed white interior providing a clean contrast. The two-tone treatment is simple and deeply effective, giving the piece a strong graphic quality that is quintessentially French in character. A practical and handsome everyday bowl that works equally well for serving or display.
